The Day? Getting nicer. Yesterday was interesting..In 160 miles of driving, round trip, the temperature varied up and down by 20 degrees. Yes, Snow,sunshine, rain, dry in one hour!And the reverse coming back.
The Shave? Nice one. First use of a Hydro-magic. Lady’s yet! A medium aggressive razor and the long handle makes it nice! The soap I am using is becoming a bit more familiar and Randy told me to try using “warm” water to make the lather. It made a pleasant difference.( He said he had heard that too hot water may separate the lanolin out of the mix.)
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Informational:
I received the soaps as no cost samples to try them out. You will see this one for a few days as I try it with different shave equipment. I am trying the no scent one to assure my nose is not leading me in a wrong direction. The soaps are made in the USA. Today...the soap has promise!

Gentlemen, back from a wonderful kayak trip I had the great need to shave.
